The CEO Who Hates Me

Ryu woke up inside his room in his own penthouse. He quickly rose up and rushed outside.

"Where is Arya?" He shouted and asked all his men waiting for him to wake up.

Chen was the one who answered and said, "Sir, we do not know yet. Our men are still looking. We found you alone, asleep on the couch. The guards on post outside were both knocked out. We quickly transferred you to the hospital and sent you here after the doctor confirmed you are fine and were only drugged to sleep."

Chen's heart was beating so fast while he looked at his CEO's dark face. He was clenching his fist and gritting his teeth.

Ryu did not say a word and smashed all the things near him in frustration.

His men did not know what to do as they looked at each other terrified.

Chen released a deep long sigh. He was not sure if he should continue to report how they lost track of Arya's dad at the same time.

The enemy's plan was well arranged and well executed. All the things were executed smoothly making it hard for them to find even the traces of their whereabouts.

This is not just a simple game, whoever it is, is definitely in for a pronounced battle with their CEO.

His thoughts were interrupted when he saw their CEO punch the table several times and blood dripping from his hands.

He quickly moved together with other men to hold their Boss down and stop him from continuing to punish and injure himself.

"What are you doing? Let go of me! You are all useless!!!" He shouted angrily.

'And I am the most useless of all!' He cursed himself silently. Today he realized how powerless he was.

When Butler Omni arrived, he saw his child in an indescribable state.

Ryu's wide shoulders bent down with a sullen look on his face, bloodshot eyes and heartache written all over his silhouette. He looked like someone who has just lost a loved one. It broke Butler Omni's heart when he witnessed his dear child in such a poor heartbroken state.

This was the first time he had seen him in such a state.

The doctor was rolling the bandage on Ryu's hand.

He sighed and asked Chen who stood beside him. "How is he?" He asked.

Chen shook his head and answered, "It took us thirty minutes to calm him down."

"Madam Arya left a diary written by her beside him. I am not sure if I should give it to him now or not." Chen said sighing deeply. He did not dare to look what was written inside but he was sure it was for their CEO.

"Hand it to me, I will talk to him. After the bandage is done, you all go out and leave the two of us alone." Butler Omni instructed.

Chen nodded in agreement. Then he signaled the rest of the people in the room to go out including the doctor. He walked towards Arya's room where he had put the diary and handed the same to Butler Omni before leaving to go outside.

Butler Omni inhaled and exhaled loudly before walking towards Ryu who was sitting still and quiet.

"Son, I think you need to read this first. According to Chen, this was found at the table beside you. It's probably from Arya." Butler Omni said. However, Ryu seemed to be not himself yet.

He sighed once more before saying, "Everything will pass soon son. Be strong and it's not yet the end of the world for you."

Then he placed Arya's diary on Ryu's lap before he left him alone.

Ryu glared at the diary kept on his lap for more than five minutes and finally decided to pick it up and read.

He opened the last page and read it.

Hi Ryu, you are probably wondering why I would even bother to leave a diary behind.

That's because I want you to forget all that happened between us and go on with your life like before.

I am a very bad person, right?

I played with your emotions and left you drugged. That's why I told you several times not to fall for me.

I bet you are reading the last page directly, am I right? That's what I thought.

If you feel like not reading it, that's okay. I  can understand you.

I just hope you won't hate me too very much for not staying beside you.

If you only knew how much I really want to stay with you but it's a very difficult situation for me. I can not risk my whole family for the sake of our relationship.

Yeah, I know I am a coward. It's not that I don't trust you but I am really scared. Scared to lose my dad again... scared to lose my sister and my mother.

I know you are a strong person.

You had always been a strong willed man.

So please ... for the sake of our good times... don't let a woman become your weakness.

You were fine without knowing me in the first place… I wish you remain good without me being with you again...

So just think of it as having a nightmare, a bad dream that you had and erase everything from your memory.

Forget me Ryu....and live on....the way you had lived a few week ago....

Ryu could no longer continue to read and closed the diary abruptly.

"Do you really think you can get away that easily from me huh?" Ryu murmured with an aggrieved tone.

Outside, Butler Omni saw Chen who was leaning on the wall of the hallway.

The latter informed him all that had happened. They both shared the same thoughts.

Ryu Ken needed Head Master's help if he wanted to get back to the person behind everything.

"Do you know when Young Master Dean will return?" Chen suddenly asked.

Though quite surprised, Butler Omni still answered. "He will return tomorrow. Head Master summoned him to report to him tomorrow."

Dean was Ryu's cousin but they grew up like real brothers. He just hopes second young master Dean returned the soonest since he was the only one who could possibly help Ryu to recuperate from this condition.

He suddenly thought about Ryu's parents and shook his head. It's better to leave them out of the picture on this matter because they might make the situation worst.
